One way to get people to help test your stuff is to make it as easy as possible for them to do so. A lot of the compass users at the moment are early adopters and are ok with poor documentation, and since they already know sass they will have good feedback for you. I'd encourage you to consider that a sass framework doesn't need all these classes to be pre-generated. If it's so flexible, you should give them mixins that they can use to generate only those classes that they need. Also, that mixin can be used to add the styles to classes and IDs that are semantic within their markup so that their html is not polluted by presentational classes.
If you haven't done so, please check out my sass ports of 960 and blueprint for inspiration.
